HE neural elements of the cerebral cortex are derived by mitotic division from a single germinal layer and attain their definitive arrangement through a process of migration from a juxta-ventricular position towards the superficial cortical surface. Since the classical studies of Tilney* it has been generally accepted that the cortical laminæ are formed by three successive migratory waves, the first giving rise to the supragranular, the second to the granular and the third to the infragranular layers. Recently, however, Berry and Eayrs* were unable to reconcile this concept with the effects of foetal X-irradiation on cortical structure and postulated that the neuroblasts giving rise to layers V and VI migrated before those destined to form layers IV, III and II. Quantitative comparisons between neurones of normal and irradiated animals, and comparisons between the development of pyramidal cells in the hippocampus and neocortex, sup-ported this hypothesis. It was suggested that more direct evidence might be obtained from an investigation of the behaviour of neuroblasts labelled with tritiated thymidine. Each of seven groups of foetal rats, aged 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 days post-coitus respectively, have accordingly been given a single intra-amniotic injection of triti-ated thymidine. Animals were killed 4 h and 2, 4, 6, 8,
